Play iMessage games with yourself?! You apparently can

Hello reddit nation- so earlier this morning I was unable to fall back asleep. So I stated sending all contacts iMessage game invites to try and pass time. So then it occurred to me, as the rest of my friends were apparently resting their eyes,“Why not try to invite myself into a game of 8 ball?!” Thus, I typed my number into the recipients box for an iMessage, selected the game I wanted to play, and voila, like magic, I began to play 8 ball with myself! I found it pretty cool. So now, if you’re ever stuck bored on commute, waiting helplessly for the end of the work day, or want to keep the kids preoccupied while you’re out, you now have the chance to kill some time in a fairly harmless fashion hahaha. Hopefully I’m not late to the party in mentioning this- if so apologies 😂 but otherwise hopefully it’ll be a good tip for someone who had no idea they could do this- like me a few hours ago!
